Rifle Paper Co. 558 W. New England Ave., Winter Park, 407-622-7679, riflepaperco.com
Rifle Paper Co. has been a hometown favorite since 2009, when Anna Bond and her husband, Nathan, launched their design studio out of a garage apartment. Rifle is now a thriving stationery business with international recognition, but it's nice to know we locals can stop by the tiny flagship shop in Hannibal Square to peruse the newest calendars, cards and paper goods, along with a smart selection of gifts by other makers.
Illustrated Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, $30
A large-scale, dust-jacketed edition of Lewis Carroll's long-beloved story of kittens, drugs, caterpillars and tea parties is dressed up with 70 whimsical illustrations by Anna Bond.
Recipe tin with cards and dividers, $34
Truly special recipes deserve better than an email forward or a soulless computer-paper printout, and Rifle's floral-patterned tin is a worthy repository. Treat them right and start a tradition by recording all of your specialties – family or otherwise – on the included cards.
Patterned writing pencils, $12
Write on! This set of 12 pencils, dressed in Rifle's celebrated floral patterns, make the perfect stocking stuffer for anyone who still enjoys making lists the old-fashioned way.
